A review by ilovehummus6
The Night of the Gun by David Carr

dark funny medium-paced

3.5

There’s something maybe not charming, but endearing, about Carr’s unwillingness to be apologetic. He admits the part of him that misses the lifestyle he once had, the part of him that would rather not believe the things he’s forcibly rewritten in memory. I liked a lot about this memoir, I just wish the plot had felt more tightly constructed & purposeful. It felt a lot like self-indulgent nostalgia at some points (but even then, enjoyable. Entertaining.) And I’m totally obsessed with the concept of the book, which biases my rating.
